CMC Funded’s public site is no longer a countdown. On 2 October 2026, cmcmarketsfunded.com was selling simulated challenges, a day after the same URL still said “Coming soon” with the clock at zero. That miss is covered here.

The page now leads with Classic 2-Step and Direct 1-Step. Classic is the plan with prices actually on the screen. Direct is listed, with one target and a 4% daily loss, but the fee grid did not switch to Direct figures on this check, so those prices are not treated as confirmed.

What Classic 2-Step shows

• $10K account, $99 one-time fee
• $25K, $199
• $50K, $299
• $100K, $499
• Phase 1 target 8%, phase 2 target 5%
• Daily loss limit 5%, maximum loss 10%
• 3 minimum days
• Reward split 80%, up to 90%

Leverage on the selector runs from 1:10 to 1:500, and the page says the price stays the same at every leverage. Trading is on Match-Trader, web and mobile. Card payments are Mastercard only for now, with Visa listed as coming soon.

The footer line on the challenge block is the part that matters for how you read the product: all accounts are simulated, and rewards are subject to programme terms, KYC/AML, and fraud review. That matches the pre-launch framing, a simulated evaluation, not a live brokerage account at CMC Markets. The original announcement is here.

What the page borrows from the broker brand

The homepage also shows a 4.3 Trustpilot score from 3,479 reviews, labelled as CMC Markets reviews, not CMC Funded reviews. A few counters still read “0m+” and “0 years,” which looks unfinished. An FCA-regulated line on the page points at relevant CMC Markets UK entities. That is the broker group, not a statement that this evaluation is an FCA product. Earlier paperwork said CMC Funded is not a regulated service of CMC Markets and does not hold client money.

What it means for traders: you can now see a fee and a rule set, which you could not on launch day. Classic is a two-step CFD-style evaluation (percent targets, percent daily loss, leverage up to 1:500), not a futures combine with a dollar trailing drawdown. If you trade futures evals, this is a different product. If you wanted the $100,000 simulated account mentioned before launch, Classic lists it at $499.

Our Take: The site opening is the news. The missing day was real, and so is the price list that replaced it. Don’t treat the Trustpilot block or the FCA line as proof about this programme. Buy only off the challenge terms on the page, and skip Direct until its own fee grid is actually visible.

I’ve been trading for over 5 years, mainly across Indian markets, futures, forex, crypto, and CFDs. Over the years, I’ve traded with a lot of different brokers and prop firms and spent a huge amount of time testing their rules, platforms, pricing, drawdown models, payout systems, and trading conditions.

I’ve been through plenty of failed prop firm challenges myself before eventually figuring out what works for me. That experience has given me a pretty practical understanding of what traders actually deal with when choosing a prop firm or trading platform.

Outside of trading, I work with financial content, SEO, and WordPress. I’ve built websites and tools around trading and finance, tested a wide range of trading tools, and even modified Pine Script indicators on TradingView as a hobby.

I write about prop firms, brokers, crypto platforms, and trading tools with a focus on the things that actually matter to traders, including rules, costs, payouts, and the overall trading experience.
